Social Anxiety Group for High Schoolers

Thursdays, 6:00 - 7:15pm, September 20 - November 8 (Teens). Parent Sessions held on September 20, October 4 and 18, and November 1.

Does your teen…

Worry excessively about what others think?

Struggle to make new friends or join clubs?

Have trouble talking to teachers or other adults?

Avoid socializing?

This evidenced-based Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) group will teach high school students strategies for overcoming social anxiety in a supportive, non-threatening environment.

Participants can expect to:

Gain confidence in social situations

Identify and challenge negative thought patterns

Learn mindfulness techniques

Develop assertiveness skills

Practice social skills in real-life situations with other teens

Do “exposures” to challenging social situations in small steps

Parents will meet separately (concurrently) every other week to gain a better understanding of social anxiety, learn practical skills and strategies for supporting their anxious teen, and hear from other parents with similar teens.
